Summary

0001761: clients crash randomly since r1283

Description

it seems the r1283 introduced some major changes in networking that affects clients and make them crash randomly (I think it's related to the ticket id 0001756 that has been fixed since then)

the reported clients that crash are: 6.x 7.x with and without razor.

we tested every sphere version since r1283 and they all make the clients crash randomly.

it's hard to recreate the crash, we just run the binary on our online shard, send broadcast to everyone to start fighting at britain's bridge, and then lot of people start crashing, including the staff (gm's/counselors) you can crash less often by not moving at all.

After watching a lot of people moving around casting fighting each other, you walk, or teleport and the client might crash... I've could recreate it on an empty server making 3 people fight for a very long time, moving around and spawning a lot of npcs, and then "serv.allclients fix" made 1 person crash. it's very random as you see.

Client Crash

Notes
(0000488) GM Cancerbero (reporter) 10-06-10 03:15	same issue with 80 people online There is no lag at all, but when players start casting around me (with GM flag) if I walk, client crash. Players also got random client crashes, tested with and without razor We had to go back to previous version (before networking tweaks).

(0000497) MrSugarCube (administrator) 03-07-10 01:25	Can you check this with automated build #1296+? The fix for 0001756 has been moved to an experimental flag so that you can prove whether or not this is the cause of the crashes.

(0000498) alex (reporter) 03-07-10 01:58	can you tell me which experimental flag enables/disables the fix for 07156? I don't see a new EF_xxxx flag in .the ini

(0000499) MrSugarCube (administrator) 03-07-10 02:03	The current automated builds appears to be versions #1295 (Linux) and #1293 (Windows). The change you need is in #1296 so should be in tomorrow night's builds.

(0000500) alex (reporter) 03-07-10 02:08	thanks, I'll wait then!!

(0000503) Mirravin (reporter) 05-07-10 22:27	And? Crashes disappear than EF flag is disabled?

(0000505) alex (reporter) 05-07-10 23:51	r1296 has been running fine on our shard without the EF_FixCanSeeInClosedConts flag. It has been running for almost 2 days flawlessly! then we enabled that flag, restarted sphere and everybody started crashing (including the staff) in less than 15 mins. btw: there's a "ERROR:(sphere.ini,739)Undefined keyword 'TooltipCacheTime'" on startup on that release, do I open a new bug report for it?

(0000506) Mirravin (reporter) 06-07-10 03:19	Thanks.
